ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – Officials have identified the 18-year-old victim who was killed in a shooting at a southwest Atlanta apartment complex early Saturday morning.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office said Sunday morning that the victim was Thomas Lowe of Atlanta.

Officers were called to the Reserve at Birch Creek off Campbellton Road just after 3 a.m. Saturday and found the 18-year-old with an apparent gunshot wound, according to the Atlanta Police Department. The victim was taken to the hospital in critical condition, where he later died of his injuries, police said Sunday.
